Better bash

Default to brew-based utils

The shell is now changed, but if you type "bash" by itself, it still launches that ridiculous dinosaur shell that Apple ships. To change the path order to prefer installed alternatives, add this to .bashrc:

Resist the urge to start with 'Pro' (which is light-on-dark), as they think Pro means no antialiasing and a tiny font.

My kit

My environment kit does work on OSX. You just need modern Bash (see above) and modern base64:

$ brew install base64

Then deploy kit per usual.

Shell settings may not be deployed automatically – in this case, add "source ~/.mybashrc" to ~/.profile (creating this file if it doesn't exist).

Kit tweaks

Change ls alias from "ls –color=auto" to "ls -G" in .mybashrc

Remove bin/clear

One-finger drag

I can't understand why, but standard one-finger tap-then-drag isn't enabled by default. Weirdly, the option is NOT under "Trackpad", but rather in the trackpad part of the Accessibility options. See here for details.
